I'm still here! I was here before that relaunch, and I think there was one a couple years before it I was here for as well. I believe I date back to the late 90s on Moparts. That was back in the days they had to start over when they stepped up in power. I was here as well in the early/mid 90's..... what do I win????
I am not rich...but I get off my ass everyday to make sure I am not broke!
Can we get the Mexican cartels to help us with our supply chain issues? They don't seem to have any trouble getting stuff from one place to another.

seems like yesterday. I was going to say that life was less complicated and crazy for the most part, and then realized they weren't.

I joined in 99, I believe. Dallas board was gone by then, or at least nearly gone. I can sort of remember starting to lurk around 1996 after I changed positions in the company that gave me internet access at my desk...LOL..

. I stumbled across Moparts when I was going through a divorce many many years ago, and found myself being a single dad with a whole lot of new bills and a barnload of old parts. A quick on-line search for 'mopar parts for sale' brought me here. That was...more than two decades ago. A lot of people have come and gone through here, and I miss many of them. Some more than others! For the 'old guys here'.. I never warmed up to OBS, don't know why, and never understood DG, at all, but found I missed her when she left. It was a heck of a board and while I was never a big 'contributor' then, or now, I visited several times a day, and still do when I get a chance. It's still the best board on the net.
Thank you, Tom, for all you've done for me, and for all of us here.

Been here pretty much since the beginning. Still miss the old chat room Same ... been around since the early days === Mopar Alley + FABO were other places that helped me source parts for my 69 340 Swinger and later my 71 Duster 340 ....

I remember the for sale and Q&A board, before the switchover. I think I joined originally in early 2001 right before I bought my Charger, and definitely remember the outcry in 2003 when the board switched. I also remember people complaining that not everyone's usernames transferred over on the same day. Some of us got the 19th, and others got the 20th!

I slipped in the door sometime in 97. I've learned more here than I ever would have on my own thru trial and error. A lot of folks have come and gone over the years, and we have lost too many members who seemed like the glue that held a place like this together. Gary Davis comes to mind first. He was a friend to all, and just a great all around guy. His funeral was the hardest one that I've ever gone to. There were almost as many Mopar muscle cars in the procession from the church to the graveyard as there were cop cars! Stu passing was tough also, because he let us know how dire his situation was, communicated while he was able for a very short time and then he was gone. I am a member of a few other car sites, but this will always be home. The board has to change every so often due to technology, so we just need to roll with it. Until then....I'll be here until my day arrives! Thanks Tom, for all you have done to keep this place kickin over the years!

IIRC, I joined the old board in 1998 or so. Found out about it from the MoparChat board.

Yep, still here but I lurk most of the time now. Lot of the old timers are gone, a few have passed away. I came here around the mid 90s switching from that old Dallas site. What was the name of the dude that ran the Dallas site? Seemed he was always pandering for money.

I've been around for more than 20 years as well. I was on the old Dallas board prior to Moparts, but I also joined Moparts prior to 1998 (96 or 97).

Not familiar with the Dallas site, the only Dave Schultz I remember is the guy who had the 'moparstyle' site for awhile...... and at the time he was from the Houston area. End of Moparstyle Way back then Dave gave me an 8 1/4 axle out of one of his Magnums to use in a Satellite I had. Got to see his little compound (but didn't get a tour). For whatever reason, I felt very uneasy while there, and it wasn't just from being in a higher tax bracket than I'm used to.
